How to Get Tickets to Summer for the City

There are three ways to get tickets to Summer for the City at Lincoln Center, depending on the venue and the programming. Please refer to the dedicated event page of the show you’d like to attend to confirm ticketing options.

Free General Admission

For free events, over half the venue capacity is aways available for General Admission. Just show up; no tickets needed! Entry to most Summer for the City performances and events is available for FREE via General Admission—first-come, first-served. Learn more »

Free Fast Track

In addition to General Admission, we’re offering a FREE Fast Track option for the majority of Summer for the City events held at Damrosch Park, The Dance Floor, The Underground at Jaffe Drive, the David Rubenstein Atrium, and other select venues. Fast Track reservations are available every Monday at noon for that week's events!
• By booking Fast Track for events ahead of time, guests can access the Fast Track line at the venue which gives them priority entry to that event.
• While event admission is not guaranteed, Fast Track ticket holders will have priority over the General Admission line up until 10 minutes before show time (please note: show time for social dances on The Dance Floor is the start of the dance lesson). We recommend arriving an hour before show time to ensure entry into the event.
• Please check the event's dedicated web page to confirm if Fast Track is available for the performance you'd like to attend.

NYLaughs/Suzette Simon are thrilled to celebrate the power, punch, and poetry of women’s voices this summer — with a special nod to the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live and the incredible women who have shaped — and continue to shape — that iconic comedy institution. Headlining the night is SNL alum Molly Kearney, joined by a knockout lineup: SNL writer KC Shornima, Jackie Fabulous, Hoodo Hersi, Caitlin Peluffo, and our fabulous host, Marie Faustin. Lincoln’s about to get loud. Come laugh like you mean it.

Lineups subject to change, but the vibes are non-negotiable.
